LOCKED OUT

Yes, that's how I started my morning.
And no, I'm not upset, grumpy or irritated about it.
I thought it was the funniest thing. Especially since I've been so concerned about making sure everything was locked. Turns out, I've got nothing to worry about, because I can't even get in. HA!

Anyhow, so Matt, my FIL (father-in-law) came to my rescue. He took apart my garage door (which uses the same key as my kitchen door) and we took it to the locksmith who fixed my key problem.

So there goes my amusing story of the day.

A Mish Mash of Things

nothing specific to blog about, so here's a quick run down of a few things...

-Today is Tuesday. 2 more days of work. I'm off Friday for our shutter installation... which means, I'll be home all day. I think from 9-5. Except for the time I'll be meeting my boxing coach. That's an appointment that cannot be missed.
I'm way too excited about these shutters! I've been blogging about it for sometime now, I know. I will have pictures up soon- once we find the camera. Yes, it's been misplaced.

-I am sick. I hate being sick. Stuffy nose, cough, the whole nine yards. Yuck!

-The hubby comes home tonight. He doesn't have school/ work tomorrow, but he does have a lot of studying to do. However, it'll just be great to have him home. We've been so busy when he is home- lots of laundry, ironing, shoe shining, helmet cleaning, and more. I'm totally becoming a housewife when he's home. Such a strange thing for me. I don't know how to iron, and have no intentions of learning, so he's been doing that. I've been helping him fold laundry and a few other little things. I'm sure we'll get everything down to some sort of schedule so we won't feel so frantic on the weekends. I'm a schedule kind of gal- this totes has to help me!

-I don't need anything for the house (except for a new oven), nor do I care much for other people's design preferences. HOWEVER, there is just one things that's on my wish list as a housewarming gift (I hope my sisters or girlfriends take note- if you split the cost, it comes up to about $35 a person- split 4 ways)...
It's this magical thing called a Tassimo.

It makes lattes, cappuccinos, espressos, hot chocolate, regular coffee, steamed milk, tea. It's all in one, and it only costs $139. I'm a huge coffee plan, and this is def great! Plus, if you come over my house, I'll make you some :)

How Well Do You Know Your Husband?

I found this on someone's Facebook, so I decided to fill it out- it's Friday and it's slow...

Here's a chance to see how well you really know your husband. Cut, paste and fill in the answers, then forward . . . shoot, you know what to do. The real challenge is to send it to your spouse to see how right you really are.

1. He's sitting in front of the TV, what is on the screen?
The Colbert Report

2. You're out to eat/what kind of dressing on his salad?
None. He hates dressing. He'd ask for lemons.

3. What's one food he doesn't like?
Mushrooms- weird, cause I LOVE mushrooms!

4. You go out to eat and have a drink. What does he order?
We probably would be at Poquito Mas. He'd get a pasilla burrito and an iced tea.

5. Where did he go to high school?
El Camino

6. What size shoe does he wear?

Anything from the Poquito Mas menu- oh, and he does eat it everyday... and he's not fat!

He's not a cereal person, but Captain Crunch if we have it.

10. What would he never wear?
Stuff I pick out. He's really picky about what he wears.

11. What is his favorite sports team?
He doesn't really watch sports. Except when we watch hockey, he goes for the Kings, when he's playing PSP, he plays as the Cowboys Football team.

12. Who did he vote for?
Obama

13. Who is his best friend?
Me- but someone he's known a long time, Dale and Sean... but he's also close to Chase

Leave his study a mess.

15. What is his heritage?
All parts white

17. Did he play sports in high school?
no

18. What could he spend hours doing?
Playing video games


19. What is one talent he has?
He likes everyone- he's really tolerant of people... so not like me!

Hairstyle makeover

While perusing someone else's blog, I found this great site http://hairmakeover.instyle.com

So I decided to play...
Please let me know your thoughts, as I'm really considering a few of these...

My fave is this:

The color would be just a little bit darker... I couldn't find the right one on the site.

Here's a few other looks...

Hooray it's Friday!

I am tired. I am glad it's Friday.
We've had so many changes occur in the past couple of months, and the most recent change was the start of the hubby's academy this week. His new sched will def take some getting used to.
Plus, there was a misunderstanding with a friend that has taken a lot out of me because it bothered me deeply.
There are so many things going on that I'm doing what I can to devote a little time to myself. This has meant me getting up early to go to the gym, since I never know what time I'll be getting off at night. This also means that when I get home, I can do all the household duties I need to do. I am functioning as a single mom for the next 18 weeks, so it's a challenge. Thank goodness I have a cleaning lady and a gardener!
So I hope that explains my lack of regular posts... and the lack of interesting ones at that.
